Past-Presidents

APEGA has existed for almost 100 years, and for every year of its existence, there has been a president of Council to uphold the pillars that APEGA stands for: integrity, accountability, innovation, and service. Through the decades of change and growth, the men and women listed below led APEGA’s Council.

They have worked across the globe, from Mississippi to Venezuela, but all settled their talents here in Alberta. Each came from different walks of life, from serving in the Second World War, to teaching aeronautics, to instigating first-time overseas ventures. This incredible group made its mark on the world and on APEGA.

All of these outstanding people helped make APEGA what it is today, and all were thanked for their service with an Honorary Life Membership award—a framed medallion memento—inducting them as life members of APEGA.

2017: Jane Tink, P.Eng., FEC, FGC (Hon.)

Jane Tink, Professional Engineer, was born in Red Deer and obtained her bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from the University of Calgary in 1984.

She began her career at a small oil and gas company, reviewing and developing an economic evaluation program and reserve-tracking system before becoming the company’s drilling and completion engineer.

Tink was responsible for various geographical areas in Western Canada, including all aspects of engineering, from exploration to well abandonment and reclamation.
